New Covenant theology (or NCT) is a Christian theological position teaching that the person and work of Jesus Christ is the central focus of the Bible. [1] One distinctive assertion of this school of thought is that Old Testament Laws have been abrogated [2] [3] or cancelled [4] with Jesus's crucifixion, and replaced with the Law of Christ of the New Covenant.
